That's perfectly true.

He was democratically elected and could be removed in four years if that is the will of the people.

As for bias, everyone is biased, even you: you are biased against Boris Johnson.

If that's what you see a loyal prime minister as being when he puts the people of the country of which he is PM as being first.

Oh wait, we have a cabinet to work with and advise him and a once Loyal Opposition (though now we have a traitorous rabble trying to get power by any means possible and to hell with what's best for the UK)

Dictatorship? That's something that Socialist want to create but by the back door -- which is the nature of that beast after all.

He could be removed in less if that is the will of the Party .....

No-one is perfect, not even me.
Are you?

I can only speak for myself, but Boris has so far made only two major cock-ups:
HS2, and
pairing up with that harridan who's trying to dictate to him.

So far, he has handled properly Brexit and, to the best of anyone's knowledge, Covid.

He could indeed. They removed our best PM since Churchill, Maggie Thatcher.
I believe they did that because, being insecure men, they couldn't stand a woman ordering them about!
And they made a big mistake.
Look what happened next!

I will refer you to an earlier reply and ask AGAIN that you consider just how Boris reached the lofty position he currently occupies.
*Hint* - it was not via a coup or an armed invasion.

Biased to act in a way that favours our country, it's people, their culture, their values and more.

To hell with everyone else.
This is the reason Boris is Prime Minister!
The country were fed up of the deceit shown by the previous incumbents - otherwise they would still be there.

Boris does not need to be perfect and - as you know full well - he is not beyond reproach if he can be voted out of power or if his actions can be questioned.
Which is what you and others are doing, is it not?
